Officer Phipps arrested the plaintiff based on probable cause at the time of the arrest.  The plaintiff disagreed and filed a lawsuit for numerous constitutional and statutory violations, using a written opinion from the Court of Appeal which threw out the plaintiff’s criminal charges.  That state court questioned whether probable cause ever could have existed for the arrest by Officer Phipps, and reversed the plaintiff’s criminal conviction.  We developed key facts from three witnesses not used over the criminal appeal.  After discovery, we moved for summary judgment.  The court granted our motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiff’s claims against Officer Phipps and the HANO Police Department with prejudice, accepting our central factual and legal argument that Officer Phipps had probable cause at the time of arrest.  Frederic Theodore “Ted” Le Clercq and Andrew Baer represented Officer Phipps and HANO Police Department.
